The instability of social norms on the Internet causes the diversity of social identification. Meanwhile, the anonymity of online social identity and the chaos of the role-playing among the interacting participants cause an ambiguity of identity recognition, which intensifies anxiety about interpersonal interaction. Methods that promote face-to-face interpersonal interaction through the reconstruction of the identification to the social system and intergroup trust is worth further research. Based on a telephone survey of urban residents in thirty-six cities in China (N=1080), the study focuses on the influence of Internet use on interpersonal interaction of urban residents and the mediation effect of social identification. The results show that Internet use has a negative effect on the interpersonal interactions of urban residents, and social identification plays a mediating effect between Internet use and interpersonal interaction. Implications of the results are discussed.

'Sustainable Development' has become one of the most important concepts of the 21st century, and efforts are being made to actively apply this conception in various fields of social studies. Sustainability can be discussed in terms of economy, environment and society. In the case of social sustainability, a key motivation is the weakened bond within communities that is an unfortunate characteristic of modern society. The core of social sustainability is therefore in promoting 'social interaction and communication' through constructing communities and physical environments that support them. This study is based on the understanding that areal enlargement of physical environment doesn't guarantee the vitality of created community spaces. The purpose of this study is to deduce the design objectives and strategies of communal spaces in apartment complexes for social interaction and communication. Social interaction and communication can be divided into two aspects: between a complex and the local society, and within the complex itself. Nine design objectives are deduced from sixteen research reports published by public research institutions after 2000 and several design strategies are found through architectural analyses of influential examples based on 5 fundamental values of communal space planning.

Objectives: This study identified changes in social communication and interaction among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through Theraplay. Methods: This study included 20 children who were diagnosed with ASD by a child and adolescent psychiatrist and were recommended to undergo Theraplay in 2012-2017. The Marschak interaction method was used to identify and analyze the interactions between parents and their children. The Korean version of the Social Communication Questionnaire (K-SCQ) was used to evaluate symptoms of ASD. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the differences before and after Theraplay. Results: Upon comparing the differences in total K-SCQ scores, there were statistically significant changes (z=-3.269, p=0.001) in children with ASD. Changes were also confirmed in each category, namely social interaction, communication, and limited and repetitive behavior patterns (p=0.011, p=0.025, p=0.039, respectively). Conclusion: This study found that Theraplay may cause significant changes in social communication in children with ASD. Further studies are needed to establish the effectiveness of Theraplay in children with ASD.

The new social reality emerging amid the global rise of communication links and integration processes acutely emphasizes the problems of communication in large and small social systems. The method of their communication becomes one of the keys to ensuring global security. It has become the mission of humanitarian education to prepare the younger generations for life in a changing world with no image of the future and increasing uncertainty. In psychological and pedagogical research, there is a growing scientific interest in the problems of interaction of the individual with the social environment. The mental trace of a person's practice in society shapes the experience of social interaction, which constitutes simultaneously the source, tool, and condition for the emergence and development of personality. The study outlines the methodological foundations for the study of individual experiences of social interaction. A hypothesis about the productivity of the functional matrix method is tested. Materials for the training of specialists in the humanities include interdisciplinary approaches to the study and transformation of the experience of social interaction and systematic methodology for the study of complex objects. Fundamental to the study is the systematic-dialectical method, and the matrix method is employed as the instrumental-technological method. The paper presents the results of a multidisciplinary overview of scientific literature concerning the essential characteristics and functions of social interaction and the respective experience. The overview points to the fragmented nature of scientific understanding of the elements of experience outside its integrity and systemic properties. Based on the formula "personality interacts with the social environment", the study presents an algorithm for the application of a systematic methodology for the study of complex objects, which made it possible to identify the system parameters of experience at three levels of cognition and develop the reference structural and functional matrices for the didactic system of its pedagogical enrichment.

Responsiveness and initiative between infant and mother from toy centered play situation at 6, 7 months of age and infant's social communication skills at 12 months were studied in a sample of 62 infant-mother pairs. Through the video analysis, infants were grouped into simple react group, cooperated group, and active initiative group. In the between groups, we analyzed whether mother's initiative act styles and response styles were different, and whether their social communication skills were different when they tested at 12 months. The results showed that mother's initiative styles were not different but mother's response styles were significantly different with infant groups. Further result showed that cooperated group gained higher score than active initiative group in the total score of Eary Social Communication Skills scales at 12 months of age. The results suggested that mother's responsive behaviors were more important than initiative behaviors for the infant's positive interaction, and the difference of these behaviors would lead to a gap of early social communication abilities.

Since a social networking service (SNS) isconsidered as an effective means to communicate and interact with customers, companies are trying to utilize SNS effectively. There is a lack of theory relating to the attributes of SNS. This study aims to investigate the attributes of SNS to classify SNS. Based on the social network theory, and previous studies on internet, blog, homepage, communication attributes, this study proposes the seven attributes to classify SNS: interaction, communication, entertainment, information, sharing, intimacy and connection. A pre-test, a pilot test and a main test are conducted. In the main test, 239 SNS users are participated. Through a factor analysis this study verifies the seven attributes of SNS. An analysis of variance with multiple comparisons of $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ method identifies that three attributes, interaction, communication and connection, are found to play significant roles to differentiate SNS. Looking at the overall mean values of the SNS by attribute, interaction, sharing, entertainment, intimacy and communication were relatively high in Facebook. Facebook showed higher values in attributes of interaction, sharing, entertainment, intimacy and communication. Twitter shows the relatively high scores for information and connection. Regarding interaction, Facebook shows higher scores than Twitter and Cyworld. For connection, Cyworld showed a significantly lower score than Twitter and Facebook. Cyworld was separated from the others in the light of communication. Cyworld is relatively weak in communication as it is limited to the message exchanges. The results will help in identifying major attributes for each SNS and classifying SNS.

This paper examines the trends of recently developed human-care robots and social interaction technologies. As one of the solutions to the problems of an aging society, human-care robots have gained considerable attention from the public and the market. However, commercialized human-care robots do not meet user expectations for the role as companions. Current robot services based on short-term interaction and fragmentary pieces of intelligence have encountered difficulty in eliciting natural communication with humans. This results in the failure of human-robot social bonding. Social interaction is being actively investigated as a technique for improving robots' natural communication skills. Robots can form a natural bond with humans through social interaction, which consequently increases their effectiveness. In this paper, we introduce recent human-care robot-related issues and subsequently describe technical challenges and implications for the success of human-care robots. In addition, we review recent trends on social interaction technologies and the datasets required.

This study has a purpose mainly to analyze the team interaction change by the duration of time in the Capstone-Design activities according to MBTI Modes. Study objects are four students of Mechanical Engineering at School of Engineering in C University located in Daejeon, and the team interaction change was analyzed through IPA (Interaction Process Analysis) method. From the result, first, ESTP showed the change of increase in interaction by the time duration of initial, mid, late periods in 'social-emotional area: positive' and 'task area: question', and the change of decrease by the same time duration of periods in 'task area: solution'. Also, there was no change in 'social-emotional area: negative' because there was no interaction. Second, ESFJ showed the change of decrease in interaction by the time duration of initial, mid, late periods in 'social-emotional area: positive' and 'task area: question', and the change of increase by the same time duration of periods in 'task area: solution' and 'social-emotional area: negative'. Third, ISTJ showed the change of decrease in interaction by the time duration of initial, mid, late periods in 'social-emotional area: positive', 'task area: question' and 'social-emotional area: negative', and the change of increase by the same time duration of periods in 'task area: solution'. Fourth, ENFP showed the change of decrease by the time duration of initial, mid, late periods in 'social-emotional area: positive', 'task area: solution' and 'social-emotional area: negative', and the change of increase by the same time duration of periods in 'task area: question'.

다양한 디지털 매체의 발전에 따라 멀티미디어 환경이 충분히 조성되었음에도 불구하고, 온라인상의 다양한 관계들은 여전히 텍스트 기반의 커뮤니케이션을 통해 형성되고 유지된다. 본 연구에서는 채팅으로 대표되는 이러한 텍스트 기반의 온라인 사회 상호작용(TOSI: Text-based Online Social Interaction)에 어떠한 요소들이 영향을 미치는가에 초점을 맞추었다. TOSI의 습관적 사용을 유발하는 동기로서 '친밀감'을 설정하였고, TOSI가 인터넷이라는 매체를 통해 이루어진다는 점에 착안하여 친밀감에 영향을 미치는 독립변인으로 인터넷 자기효능감과 매체의 사회적 실재감을 설정하였다. 구조방정식 모형을 통해 이러한 모형의 적합도를 살펴보았으며, 아울러 친밀감이라는 매개 요인 없이 인터넷 자기효능감과 사회적 실재감이 TOSI의 습관적 이용에 직접 영향을 미치는지에 대해서도 알아보았다. 연구 결과는 친밀감을 매개로 한 간접 효과가 상당히 의미 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 상대방에게 강한 친밀감을 느낄수록 TOSI를 이용하려는 성향이 높았으며, 인터넷 자기효능감의 경우, 그 수치가 높다 하더라도 친밀감이 형성되지 않으면 TOSI 사용 성향에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 드러났다.

The present research investigates the factors influencing the elderly adults' life satisfaction in the era of information and communication technology (ICT). Specifically, we examine whether the elderly individuals' digital literacy skills (i.e., ability to use PCs, ability to use mobile devices, and ability to distinguish information) and perceptions (i.e., perceived usefulness of digital technology, self-efficacy in using digital devices, and social interaction) predict their life satisfaction. To answer the research question, we performed a hierarchical multiple regression analysis using the elderly Korean adults aged 55 or older. The results indicate that (1) females (vs. males) are more satisfied with their life; (2) the higher individuals' age, education and monthly household income, the higher their life satisfaction; and (3) their perceived usefulness of digital technology, self-efficacy in using digital devices, social interaction, and ability to distinguish information are positively associated with life satisfaction. The findings provide important implications to enhance life satisfaction of the elderly adults in the ICT era.
